Murphys Laws of Camping

Any stone in a hiking boot migrates to the location of maximum pressure.

Remaining distance to a given campsite remains constant as twilight approaches.

Number of mosquitoes at any given location is inversely proportional to the volume of remaining repellent.

The probability of finding a latrine is one over the number of poison ivy plants per acre.

The square feet of level ground available for tents equals the degrees from horizon of the setting sun.

The need to urinate at night increases in direct relation to the hour past midnight, layers of clothing worn, occupants in your tent, and inches of rain since sunset. Curiously, it increases in 'inverse' relation to the outside temperature.

The ground under shoulders compresses without sunlight while the ground under feet expands.
